I trying to explain this would take a month and a day, so I will leave you this link, the first page will explain the anatomy of the male and female crab, follow it down to the page, and you will see ((((Please see Mating and Spawning for more detailed information.)))) After you get the first page down go to the next page mating it will explain it simply, I would really confuse you trying to explain it to you. http://www.blue-crab.org/identification.html

--very carefully ---

um the same way other animals do.birds and the bees

they hop on top of eachother

I'm not sure on the specifics but they better be practising safe sex. You know, elastics and the like...

firstly they go ass to mouth and get all the prime juices out. after that they shit in to little piles and lay their eggs in there. that is called the "menstral cycle". i dont know if i can make it any more clearer. :)

Through sex between prostitutes and married men. Apparently one scummy female and one scummy male get together and make baby crabs. *Please do not toss your used toothpicks into the toilets... The crabs have learned to pole vault!

1) "Blue crab mating usually takes place from June all the way until October. During courtship, the male (jimmy) does a dance waving his swim paddles. The female (sook) will probably be one and a half years old. The sook must be in soft-shell stage to mate. When the sook is ready to moult, the jimmy moves over her and holds her beneath him. This is called a doubler. The sook is then released to moult. After she has moulted, the jimmy will protect her. In a couple of days, her shell hardens and she leaves the jimmy. He goes and tries to mate again. The sook does not mate again. She moves closer to the ocean and burrows in the mud for winter. Next summer she deposits two million eggs. In a two week period, they develop into larva."
